WIPO PROOF is an online service that rapidly produces tamper-proof evidence which you can use to prove that your digital file existed at a specific point in time.

Whether you have a creative work, a product design, an invention or research data and insights from the innovation process, WIPO PROOF is an additional way to safeguard valuable intellectual assets.

In seconds, WIPO PROOF uses industry-leading secure technology to generate a globally recognized digital fingerprint of your intellectual asset. This is your WIPO PROOF token – an encrypted record of your digital file’s DNA and existence, dated and timestamped the second it is created. Tokens are valid indefinitely. WIPO PROOF stores them securely for 5 years (renewable on request), keeping them compliant with evolving encryption technologies.

WIPO PROOF is backed by WIPO’s 130 years of experience providing secure, trustworthy IP services worldwide.

Creating and innovating is often a long, iterative process that generates many valuable outputs along the way. Proving that an idea, lyric, sketch, or other original creation existed before someone else’s can add substantially to its value.

WIPO PROOF provides innovators and creators with secure evidence that a creation existed at a given point in time – and can be verified by anyone.

This can help prevent misuse and misappropriation and can be used in resolving legal disputes.

WIPO PROOF complements existing IP systems, adding another tool for managing your intellectual assets strategically.
